Separate ways are necessary to avoid confusion with the tagging of the old railway route and the road.

The tags do not combine well if the ways are combined (things like names and reference numbers), and it confused which adjoined items like gates or fences affect which item.

It also causes issues where there are differences in the twitter (like wiggles in the cycleway).

I do not believe the wiki suggests combining the two.

A compromise might be to make the pavements the same layer as the roadway bridge, but not apply the bridge tag to them. That will avoid any errors about them crossing the things below, but without creating other odd artifacts.

They do, and it does look silly (unless you are more zoomed out, when renderers tend to merge the edges). The same thing happens with dualcarriageways appearing as separate bridges (see, for example, several of the major central London bridges over the Thames). Or where multiple railway tracks appear as separate bridges.

But that’s a renderer failing, and shouldn’t be fixed by fiddling the tagging. “Bridge area” is the best solution available at present (by providing a solid backdrop in most renderers).

Please avoid adding tiny railway 'tunnels' under pavements that are part of road bridges over the railway.

None at all if they're in use!

Ah... I didn't put that path there. It was an existing way.

Hi, I'm not able to work out which footpath you are referring to?

Because it should be according to the definition of highway=tertiary - it is a part of the through route between Roslea and Clones. Tertiary roads do not have to be a 'C' class road in the UK.

It is entirely proper for such cases - see the entry for the tag in the OSM wiki.

Very little is visible - any sections that are should have a barrier= tag added.

railway:ref is the used internationally for station reference codes by OpenRailwayMap - ref:crs is a UK-specific tagging. What is the issue with having duplicate tagging?

I've not deleted any dismantled railways - I've been adding reference tags to them.

The path of the abandoned railway from Pennyfields Road past Jasmine Cres to Freedom Drive is not a path for most of the route.

It's also unclear why the railway tags were removed.

There seems to have been deletion of bridge names in this changeset: rather than tag-conversion, the name tags are just removed.

It is not "arbitrary", it is the extent of the highway area, and is correctly tagged as an area. It has linear ways through it for routing purposes.

Because it maps the extent of the highway area. Valid tagging is not adjusted just because of errors in the programming of specific renders or routers.
